Title: Accessing library/playlist info in Girder using MC automation Commands
Post by: RandyR on April 18, 2005, 08:00:26 pm

I have sucessfully used Girder and MC windows messaging to control MC from another non-PC controler.  However, I don't see any way to use Windows messaging (MCC core commands or otherwise) to populate girder registers with library and playlist information.

What I would like to do is populate girder registers with MC library/playlist info, and then send that via girder's serial or ip interface to a non-pc application (Crestron controller).

Or if anyone knows another way to get the data sent via rs232 or tcp/ip to an application running on another non-pc controller.


Any help would be very much appreciated.

I am also trying to get a Crestron plugin going.  Perhaps we can team up on this??

Did anyone figure out how to do this?   (I'm mostly interested in getting MC playlist/library info into girder registers)

You need to investigate a Girder plug-in called 'DVDSpy'. AFAIK, that is currently the only way to pull certain information from MC and put it into Girder registers/variables.

The good folks at proxmis.com may have other solutions--particularly relating to their 'NetRemote' systems.

Best,
